Meeting was called to order by President Christina Pierce at 6:38 pm at the town hall. Board members present were: Christina Pierce, Geoff Willis, Bob Allison, Marcia Roy, Scott Tweed, Stuart Pratt, Ray Chicoine.
Roll Call of Board Members took place.
Andover landscaping presentation: Matt from Andover landscaping presented an in depth look at his take on the beach improvements. Improvements were broken up into sections, so members can pick and chose which improvements are wanted.
Highlights were;
Erosion control – swale by boat moorings, curtain drain, and trench by boat launch, connecting to storm drain outlet. Erosion control is needed to satisfy wetlands commission.
By boat rack: Either regrade to mowable slope, add rip rap over to boat launch, or boulder wall.
Granite steps towards beach, or river rock. This will help with erosion.
Jetty at end of Hickory. Create private nooks, with natural steps to Jetty. Tighten up boulders on right side of jetty to remove some vegetation. Add sand on right, small boulder wall on right to help with grade.
Jetty at end of Lakeview: Granite steps, or composite/pressure treated. River rock around steps to prevent erosion.
Boat moorings: Stone path from jetty along slope of land. This will help with erosion.

Old Business
Beach committee: Jim from James Blair Construction gave a presentation of his plan for the beach improvement project. He handed out an estimate for the project (see attached), and multiple sketches. His plan addressed drainage issues, and the list of things we as members had wanted improved, such as the area behind the boat rack, stairs, more beach area, etc. Members had a chance to ask question and Jim answered them. Jim talked briefly about his experience over the years and how he got his start from working around the Columbia lake area doing beach improvement projects and going through wetland commissions there. His presentation was informative, organized and detailed. It was also discussed that some details still need to be made and chosen for a more detailed price and design. After Jim left the next meeting was discussed. Matt from Andover Landscaping will be doing a presentation at the next meeting on August 7th at 6:30 pm at the town Hall, much like this meeting.
Boat Stickers- Boats that are on the shore without stickers have been moved. If your boat is one of them please get a sticker ASAP so that we know it has an owner and please move it to an appropriate location.
Bulletin Board at Beach-tabled until next meeting for a date to install.
Ramp to Dock- tabled until next meeting for a date to install.
Bank Accounts-Marcia Roy reported that the Bank will be waiving fees so we will not need to change banks.
Picnic Tables-Bob Allison got the 2 new picnic tables and they are at the beach. He will be marking two that need to be removed. Two members will be taking the old ones.
Guard Rails along Lakeshore Drive-Marcia got two bids: $8,924.40 for wood and $12,067.69 for galvanized, and second being wood at $10,950. A discussion was had about other options that may be available. Future research needs to be done. Tabled until next meeting when more information can be presented.
New Business
Buoys refastened- Thank you to those that have helped getting the buoys back in shape. With some added and replaced anchors hopefully they will last the rest of the season and many more.
Mowing, Brush, Tree removal and future bids-Mike Martin asked about these items.
Mowing-Who is doing it, and how was the choice made? The bids were fully looked over by the board at previous Lakeview Terrace meetings, discussed and chosen. We choice to go with a member that had years of experience, was willing to provide the quality of service we wanted and was willing to do it the cheapest.
Brush removal-We have money allocated to clean up brush but no quotes have been received so far and still needs to be done.
Tree Removal-Why was it done and why it was discussed by email. A member reached out to the board the day after the annual meeting. There was a tree on the paper road by her house that was dead and dangerous and could fall at any time. Most of the damage was from wood peckers and bugs. It was discussed by the board through emails because the next meeting was a month out and the tree was unsafe and would damage her house if it fell causing damage Lakeview Terrace would be responsible for. Christina Pierce worked on getting three quotes. Companies where picked randomly from an internet search. One company never showed. The other two companies came in with the same bid of $500. One company wanted a fence removed and replaced after cutting, the other company was willing to work around it. Online reviews of the companies were also looked at. In the end, the board choose to go with the company not requiring the fence to be removed. It was voted on through email with board members with a majority vote to do it.
Future Bids-Mike asked that future bids be in sealed envelopes and should be opened at the same time and then the lower bid is the one that we go with no matter what. Concerns were brought up that they are other factors that should be looked at when hiring someone to do work like experience, reviews, knowledge and quality. No agreement was found but this could be discussed at a future meeting.
Next meeting Monday, August 7, 2017 at 6:30 pm at The Coventry Town Hall.

From Todd Henderson
Subject Re: Beach sand
Will not be able to get to meeting today. To recap where we are with the project. Blair Landscaping has met with Todd Penny and is preparing his drawing. His work schedule is booked thru the late summer. Andover has been contacted but I have not heard back from him recently, when last contacted he is agreeable to preliminary drawings. To recap for todays meeting:Project scope1) Cleanup up around boat launch and drainage culvert, remove brush. Clear brush around boat rack, reclaim beach, and establish clean edges so that it can be easily maintained in the future 2) Granite steps installed to provide access to both primary beaches. My recommendation is that we ask both firms to each attend one of our monthly beach meetings. That way all board members can address their concerns and finalize expectation directly with the contractors. Todd

Beach Improvements:
Bob Allison provided a detailed presentation of the beach improvements proposed to members, including hand outs and pictures. He explained each area of the improvements in detail and took questions and comments from the members present. Discussion followed, and a general consensus was reached that beach improvements are desirable, however the proposed option for beach improvement was inadequate. A letter from Kevin Martin was read into the record. A bylaw that was added in 1993 was read into the record along with the Secretary at the times certification that the bylaw was added.
A motion was made to postpone the vote until more information is available to members at a special meeting. The motion carried.
A motion was made to create a Beach committee and was carried. A signup sheet was passed around. The Beach committee will come up with a proposal, and will present at least 3 estimates at a special meeting for a vote. Outback landscaping in Coventry may be interested in the opportunity for a bid. Some of the ideas for beach improvements in addition to those presented by Bob Allison are:
- More beach area!
- Enlarge the beach area to left of jetty at bottom of Lakeview Dr.
- Landscaping/Beautification
- Allocate finances to ongoing maintenance of beach area
- Build ramp along with stairs to enable members with disabilities access to the beach. This may be required due to the Americans with disabilities act.

Beach Improvement financing:
A discussion regarding financing of improvements took place. No one was interested in utilizing a special assessment to pay for improvements, and most are in favor of financing with a combination of cash reserves, and a modest mill rate increase. A motion was made to move funds from the cd to the LVTA checking account so we do not incur any fees. The motion was carried.
